Article Abstract

To investigate how the digital transformation of port firms improves their operational resilience, we design methods to measure their digital transformation grade (DTG), technological innovation capacity (TIC), and port operational resilience (POR) respectively. Based on 3586 samples retrieved from 334 Chinese port firms from 2011 to 2021, their relationships are statistically described and preliminarily regressed by an ordinary least-squares model and a fixed-effect model. After testing the effects of supply chain disruption, endogeneity, and robustness, we reveal that digital transformation improves firms' competitiveness and operational resilience by coordinating human resources, information, and technology. We confirm that TIC plays an intermediate role and an adverse event has an enhancement effect. An inverted-U curve between DTG and POR proves that port firms often suffer growing pains at the initial stage and their POR will be promoted by continuous digital inputs, but the leading port firms would gain fewer marginal benefits.

Over the last decade and worldwide, an enormous investment in research and data collection has been made in the hope of better understanding the possible ecological and toxicological impacts triggered by glyphosate (GLY). This broad-spectrum, systemic herbicide became the most heavily applied pesticide ever in the 2000s. It is sprayed in many different ways in both agricultural and non-agricultural settings, resulting in multiple routes of exposure to organisms up and down the tree of life.

As the global economic landscape evolves, the low technological content and persistent lack of international competitiveness in China's manufacturing exports have become increasingly apparent, underscoring the urgent need for a transition from "quantity" to "quality" in the sector. Administrative approval reform, a key pillar of institutional innovation in the new era, plays a critical role in enhancing the technological complexity of manufacturing exports and strengthening international competitiveness. Using data from 2001 to 2013, this study investigates the impact of administrative approval reform on the technological complexity of manufacturing exports and explores its underlying mechanisms from both theoretical and empirical perspectives.

Background: The optimal management of patients with intermediate-risk pulmonary embolism (PE), who have right heart dysfunction (determined by a combination of imaging and cardiac biomarkers) but a normal blood pressure, is uncertain. These patients suffer from reduced functional capacity and a lower quality of life over the long-term, despite use of anticoagulant therapy. Catheter-directed therapy (CDT) is a promising treatment for acute PE that rapidly removes thrombus and potentially improves cardiac dysfunction.

The social and environmental responsibility of informal artisanal and small-scale mining in Ghana: An Akan philosophical perspective.

Informal artisanal and small-scale mining (ASM) continues to grow globally, raising both challenges and opportunities in terms of economic, social, and environmental impacts. The ASM literature explores the formalization and transfer of corporate social responsibility (CSR) practices from larger firms as the pathway to minimize negative impacts and maximize benefits. But we know very little about environmental and social responsibilities of informal mining operations (and informal economy actors in general, who are often portrayed as devoid of these responsibilities).

Using matched data from China Stock Market and Accounting Research (CSMAR) and Wind databases, this paper explores the impact of exports on the green technology innovation (GTI) of small- and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). The mechanisms are analyzed through a two-way fixed effects model. First, exports contribute significantly to GTI of SMEs.
